Let's start the bets on how long it will take him to exterminate the crew!

here now the paper

an astronaut? Too bad for him...

Some interesting results concerning tissue regeneration. One day, astronauts will be doing it as well...

Feed the astronauts with fungi a la Tschernobyl

DNA repair as an answer to the radiation in space. If we cannot protect the astronauts, we could maybe repair them...

Next astronaut suit: Electronic systems that offer elastic mechanical responses to high-strain deformations are of growing interest because of their ability to enable new biomedical devices and other applications whose requirements are impossible to satis

ESA did not accept you to be an astronaut? Check if you at least can be a Swedish Army officer... HEADPHONES REQUIRED!!!

I just like this phrase: "It is remarkable that two designers working on their own could create gloves that meet the requirements for spaceflight - a task that normally requires a large team of experts,"

seems also potentially useful for astronauts ...

38 degree core body temp in microgravity stabilised after 2 months - due to reduced conv. heat transfer+evaporation https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-15560-w

so that's hypopyrexia (augmented concentrations of interleukin-1 receptor antagonist) AND hypothermia (convection/evaportation)? what puzzles me is that temperatures take so long to return to baseline after astronauts return to earth.

Trying the new rocket with humans right away (and 1.5 years to go). What can possibly go wrong? The Trump administration has directed NASA to study whether it is feasible to fly astronauts on the debut flight of the agency's heavy-lift rocket, a mission currently planned to be unmanned and targeted to launch in late 2018, officials said on Friday.

On March 28, ATV-3, named Edoardo Amaldi, docked with the ISS. Astronauts on the station took this unbelievable picture of it as it approached

More pics here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/europeanspaceagency/ ATV docking is a bit further down the photostream.

"inherently difficult problem" is exaggerated but interesting experiment nevertheless; any volunteers to put their brain under voltage ?

Solution to the problem looks easy when you see it, but note it requires thinking out of the box (literally), and I guess this is the main reason of its difficulty. What ACT could do is to check if the procedure increases one's average score in the astronaut test.

Actually surprisingly nice blog in my view ...

Superconducting technology developed for the International Space Station could protect humans on the way to the asteroids or Mars. But will it be worth the cost?

Secure World Foundation (SWF) is pleased to announce that it will be accepting applications from young professionals for scholarships to aid in traveling to present papers at the 2012 International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in Naples, Italy.

In his last dispatch from the recent AIAA Global Space Exploration Conference, veteran astronaut and PM contributor Tom Jones argues for NASA to undertake a mission to snare a nearby small asteroid and tow it into the orbit of the moon.
